Instructions for use Primus Infinity Empowered SW 4.5n
Breathing system
z The breathing system is fully clicked into place,
the breathing hoses are correctly and securely
connected.
z Insert optional filters.
z Fresh soda lime, without discoloration is used.
For information on how to change the soda
lime, see "Changing soda lime" on page 121,
"Removing the absorber" on page 218 and "Fill-
ing and fitting the absorber" on page 230.
Soda lime depletion
When using the Infinity ID CLIC absorber, Primus
Infinity Empowered automatically detects if the
Infinity ID CLIC absorber is in a locked position and
calculates the amount of CO2 already absorbed.
In the Standby Conf. menu, see page 173, the
maximum number of use days can be set for the
CLIC absorber based on, e.g., clinical hygiene
guidelines. The soda lime consumption is moni-
tored in proportion to the CO2 absorption capacity
set in the Standby Conf. menu. The use days and
the calculated soda lime consumption are then
available on the Check List, during the Self Test,
and on the Self Test Results page. This allows
conclusions about the remaining availability, e.g.,
during the reprocessing of the device.
When the time remaining for use is 0 days or the re-
maining absorbent capacity is less than 20 %, the
component will be marked conditionally functional
during the Self Test and an alarm will be generated
in Standby.
If a Infinity ID CLIC absorber already used on an-
other machine is mounted, this functionality is not
available.

WARNING
Risk of strangulation
If not positioned with care, hoses, cables, and
similar machine components may endanger
the patient.
Take special care when connecting the pa-
tient.
CAUTION
Risk of high inspiratory CO2 levels
If the soda lime has been used for an extended
period of time, inspiratory CO2 levels may in-
crease. Infinity ID functionality should not be
solely relied upon for soda lime exchange inter-
vals.
Check the soda lime regularly for discoloration,
especially if the inspiratory CO2 level rises unex-
pectedly.
NOTE
If during operation the absorber is for any reason
no longer able to be identified by the anesthesia
machine, an alarm condition will be generated. If
confirmed, this alarm condition will no longer be
displayed.
